I had a lot of different varieties of chili sauce to label, so I came up with this design. It's customizable so you can put your own text on it. Or simply print the plain .stl file and use a pen.

These jars aren't exactly produced with Toyota tolerances, in fact, they can vary a lot, rendering the printed label either too loose or too tight. If this is the case, try turning the lid to see if the label fits better. If this doesn't help, put the label in hot water to make it softer, and then try fit it. Usually, it just works, but just in case.

The IKEA Korken 13cl jar: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40378571/

Update: (2018-09-29) Added z_adjust2 parameter to adjust z alignment for the optional second row.

Update: (2018-01-01) Uploaded a new .scad file that can generate labels for the larger Korken jars (inspired by lightfingers' make)

Update: (2017-10-20) Regenerated .stl file to fit more snuggly.
